Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔에 두텁게 번지며 깊은 윤을 남긴다. 1981년 폐쇄된 록사이드가 셰리 버트에서 37년의 침잠을 거쳐 위스키 에이전시의 손으로 풀려난 이 보틀링은 잘 익은 무화과와 호두, 옅은 가죽의 따스한 향이 천천히 솟구친다. 한 모금에 50.7도의 단단한 알코올이 흑설탕 토피와 캐러멜라이즈된 오렌지, 정향의 단맛을 두텁게 끌어온다. 폐쇄 하이랜드 증류소의 잔향이 깊고 그윽하게 식어간다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light coppery amber
air Nose
it’s the sherry that speaks first with lots of lovely soft bready and chocolate vibes. Then those very typical Lochside fruits such as guava, pineapple and papaya. Hints of green banana and star fruit as well. This wonderful impression slightly overripe and texturally ‘pulpy’ fruits. A wee scatter of sultanas and raisins too. With water: mango jam, very fragrant, background waxiness, rapeseed oil, herbal and exotic fruit teas and some rosewater. Dammit! I miss Lochside!
restaurant Palate
superb arrival! Big thick oily fruitiness, with little flashes of wood spices, espresso, herbal cocktail bitters, dried mango, metal polish. Like many old Lochsides from these vintages, parts of it are reminiscent of some very old Irish pure pot whiskeys with these slightly mechanical, oily and bready complexities. Although here the fruits are riper and much more voluptuous. With water: more nervous, more spicy, more thready notes of brittle waxes, eucalyptus bark, fir wood, tea tree oils and long aged cheng pi. This impression of lightly spiced treacle and golden syrup over crystallised tropical fruits
timer Finish
long, perfectly bitter and herbal, getting earthier with more firm notes of dark teas, brown breads, bitter chocolate and liquorice
